In nano-fab breakthrough, team builds world's first nanofluidic device with complex 3-D surfaces
Cornell University has built a Lilliputian prototype chamber for manipulating and measuring different types of nanoparticles in solution. Among the potential applications are measuring and processing nano-particles for fabbing, drug delivery, gene therapy, toxicology, and the isolation and confinement of individual DNA strands for scientific study as they are forced to unwind and elongate. Image is overhead view of the nano-fab device showing the different depth levels within the chamber as horizontal bands.... READ
